Beavon is English, Welsh in Origin.

Beavon is a rare given name and more often a surname of Welsh patronymic origin. It stems from the phrase ap Evan, “son of Evan,” where Evan is the Welsh form of John (Hebrew Yochanan, “Yahweh is gracious”). Over time, Anglicized spellings varied, producing Bevan as the common form and offshoots such as Beavan, Beaven, Bevon, and Beavon.

Documented in Wales and the English border counties from the late medieval period, the surname later spread through Britain and the Anglophone world. As a first name it gained occasional use in the 19th and 20th centuries, following the fashion for transferring surnames to given names. The meaning remains that of lineage - “son of Evan/John” - while the underlying Hebrew root conveys the broader sense of divine favor or grace.
